Application February 18, 1949, Serial No. 77,219

4 Claims.

This invention relates to ladies hair nets and more particularly to the type which is adjustable to head size.

Heretofore, tie cords and draw strings were employed as the adjustment means for hair net size. These accomplished change in rim perimeter only, leaving many of the other strands of the net in loose condition, resulting in a poorly fitting net.

It is therefore an object of this invention to provide a hair net of novel and improved construction which permits adjustment of the rim perimeter and also of the extent of effective net surface by change of other circumferential dimensions.

Another object hereof is to provide a novel and improved adjustable hair net which can be made to fit properly on any eoiffure.

A further object of this invention is to'provide a novel and improved hair net of the character described which is easy to use, cheap in cost and. efficient in carrying out the purposes for which it is designed.

Other objects and advantages will become apparent as this disclosure proceeds.

In the accompanying drawings forming part of this specification, similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views.

Fig. 1 is a pictorial view of a hair net embodying the teachings of this invention. It is shown on a womans head, adjusted to proper fit. The unused part of the net and the adjustment means are shown hanging. These, of course, may be tucked within the hair in the net, and secured by a hair pin.

Fig. 2 is an enlarged fragmentary perspective view of the net and its adjustment means.

In the drawings, the numeral l5 designates a hair net, a portion of whose body is bunched, preferably including rim strands within such bunching, and threaded through a short tube of comparatively small internal diameter, which tube It, may be of plastic, metal or other suitable material. Said tube frictionally engages such bunched part which lies within it, that is, said tube would not fall of itself to the knotted end ll, of the net threads.

After the net I5 is put on the head with rim where the wearer desires, she holds the tube IS in one hand, and with the other hand, pulls knot ll. This will adjust rim perimeter to proper size, but the net will remain loose and be 111- fitting along other arcual lines of the head surface. The wearer will now let go of the knotted end l1, and pull a few strands at a time at the exit end I6. This manipulation will cause loose arcual lines of the net to become shortened, and the net to fit properly over the entire surface of the head.

The dangling unused portion of the net, and the tube are now tucked within hair within the net, and secured with a hair pin.

It is evident that with my present invention, proper fit of hair net is accomplished, because adjustment is made not only in the nets rim perimeter, but also in its arcual dimensions over the entire head.

This invention is capable of numerous forms and various applications without departing from the essential features herein disclosed. It is therefore intended and desired that the embodiment shown herein shall be deemed illustrative and not restrictive and that the patent shall cover all patentable novelty herein set forth; reference being had to the following claims rather than to the specific description herein to indicate the scope of this invention.

I claim:

1. In an article of the character described, a ladys hair net and an element having a comparatively small opening therethrough; a portion of the net being bunched and threaded through the opening in said element and in frictional engagement therewith, whereby when the element is held in hand, more of the net may be pulled through said opening to alter the volume determined by the net.

2. An article as defined in claim 1, wherein the mentioned element is a comparatively short tube.

3. An article as defined in claim 1, wherein the mentioned element is at the exterior surface of that portion of the net which covers the head of the wearer.

4. An article as defined in claim 1, wherein the bunched portion of the net includes a part of the rim of the net whereby when the mentioned element is held in hand, more of the net may be pulled through the opening in said element to alter the circumference of the rim of the net as well as the length of other strands of the net.
